Anyang City.
A street-side breakfast stall.
Li Wan-ning was savoring a five-yuan serving of fried dumplings while sipping on a two-yuan bag of soy milk.
Who would have thought that such a down-to-earth girl was actually the heiress of a billionaire family?
Even Lu Ming couldn't help but look at her with newfound respect. "I didn't expect you to enjoy these things too."
"These are great!" Li Wan-ning said, her mouth full of dumplings, almost moved to tears by the taste. "You have no idea, when I was studying in the beautiful country, it was steak every day, or toast, and I got so sick of it!"
"There's so much good food here in Great Xia! It's like a feast of delicacies!"
Lu Ming watched Li Wan-ning devour her meal.
Although he couldn't say he liked her, at least she didn't seem as annoying as she did at first.
Li Wan-ning was the only one who knew Lu Ming had a dual account identity.
In a way, Lu Ming's most dangerous secret was in her hands.
But she had never told anyone about it, not even her ex-boyfriend Qin Ci.
It's important to know that the Li family's most crucial asset, the Medicine Hall, was located in Candlefire City, so how could they not have a base in Anyang?
Li Wan-ning could easily live in her family's luxurious mansion, enjoy gourmet meals, and receive the highest treatment as the Li family's heiress.
But she chose to give it all up, staying with Lu Ming in a hotel room with only one bed, eating cheap street food.
Lu Ming could tell that Li Wan-ning did all this just to keep him from being discovered by the God Syer's people.
After all, there were too many eyes around.
After breakfast, they returned to the hotel to rest for a few hours.
To make Lu Ming more comfortable, Li Wan-ning offered him the bed.
When he woke up, it was already noon.
"Awake?"
Li Wan-ning was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, her long, fair legs crossed, holding a book in her hands.
Sunlight bathed her, giving her an elegant and gentle appearance.
Li Wan-ning tilted her head, looking softly at the just-awakened Lu Ming.
"Why don't you sleep a bit more? You worked hard all night!"
Lu Ming quickly got up and dressed.
"No need, I'll log in soon and clear the seventh level of Medicine King Valley this afternoon."
Lu Ming wished he could spend all his time leveling up without eating or drinking.
Because every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was Qin Churan dying in front of him and the image of Qin Feng and Ye Ling'er, that bitch couple, together.
He had to reach level 50 as fast as possible!
So, after having lunch with Li Wan-ning at a restaurant outside, they returned to the hotel and logged in together.
Qin Ci had already brought people to Candlefire City, and to avoid exposing himself before reaching level 50, Lu Ming had to act cautiously at all times.
Using his alternate account, Dawn, he arrived at the Medicine Hall and then switched to his main account, Nether.
He headed straight to the seventh level of Medicine King Valley.
The monsters here, man-eating flowers, had attributes seven times stronger than normal level 50 monsters!
One level higher than the Bamboo Demon on the sixth level.
For ordinary pyers, this was a deadly increase.
But for Lu Ming, it was almost no different from before.
After all, with his formation bonuses, the strength of the Undead Legion had long surpassed the level of an average level 80 pyer.
Level 80 against level 50, naturally, it was a crushing victory!
The goal for clearing the seventh level remained the same: accumute kills of 100,000 man-eating flowers.
Without hesitation.
Lu Ming summoned the Undead Legion, unleashed a five-yer formation, and started grinding!
[Ding~ Killed level 50 man-eating flower, experience points +5450!]
[Ding~ Killed level 50 man-eating flower, experience points +5450!]
[Ding...]
As the Undead Legion was sughtering, Li Wan-ning suddenly asked, "Nether brother, are you in a hurry to level up?"
"Why don't you take a pill?"
As she spoke, Li Wan-ning opened her backpack, took out a red pill, and handed it to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming took a look.
[Body Shaping Pill] (Level 10)
[Description: Increases experience gained from killing monsters by 100% for 12 hours after consumption]
[Note: Effects of the same type of pill cannot be stacked]
Seeing Lu Ming's eyes light up, clearly pleased with the pill, Li Wan-ning smiled warmly. "I made this just for you!"
Lu Ming then realized that Li Wan-ning had spent the entire morning in the hotel studying how to make this Body Shaping Pill!
"Thanks." Lu Ming swallowed the pill and said to Li Wan-ning, "How much is this pill on the market? I'll transfer the money to you."
"No need!" Li Wan-ning said. "It's all thanks to you clearing the sixth level of Medicine King Valley st night. The new high-grade herb produced there allowed me to make this new type of pill!"
"By the way, do you need any other pills to boost attack or defense?"
Lu Ming replied, "No need, the Body Shaping Pill is enough."
After all, with the current strength of the Undead Legion, they could easily crush the monsters in Medicine King Valley, so there was no need to waste resources.
With the boost from the level 10 Body Shaping Pill, worth 200,000 yuan each, Lu Ming's experience gain from killing monsters doubled!
[Ding~ Killed level 50 man-eating flower, experience points +10900!]
[Ding~ Killed level 50 man-eating flower, experience points +10900!]
[Ding...]
By around nine in the evening, the goal of killing 100,000 man-eating flowers was achieved!
And Lu Ming's level rose from 43 at 81% to 45 at 66%, a two-level jump!
The number of fifth-tier Undying Demon Emperors expanded to a thousand!
But Lu Ming knew that this advancement was still far from enough!
He had to keep pushing forward!
So, after just logging off to grab a bite, Lu Ming immediately returned online.
Seeing this, Li Wan-ning, who had pnned to rest, couldn't help but feel worried. She followed him online, unable to rex. "Nether brother, take a break! You can continue tomorrow!"
"No, I'll clear the eighth level of Medicine King Valley tonight." Lu Ming asked Li Wan-ning, "Do you have more Body Shaping Pills?"
The duration of the st Body Shaping Pill was only a little over two hours, clearly not enough for the night's grind.
"I do." Li Wan-ning immediately took out another level 10 Body Shaping Pill from her bag.
She looked at Lu Ming with concern and said, "But Nether brother, your body won't be able to take it!"
Lu Ming took the Body Shaping Pill and extended the double experience buff duration to 14 hours.
"It's fine, I can handle it, don't worry."
"You go rest, you don't need to stay with me, I can manage on my own." Lu Ming gave Li Wan-ning a slight smile, then resolutely turned and headed towards the Medicine Hall.
Watching Lu Ming's departing figure, Li Wan-ning stood there in a daze.
Her eyes flickered with emotion.
"Nether brother, no matter what I do, in your heart, I can never compare to Qin Churan, can I?"
"For Qin Churan, you would risk everything, even your life..."
Her mind repyed the events of that morning.
After returning from Medicine King Valley with Lu Ming, she had gone to the pharmacy to restock and happened to witness Lu Ming talking with the bck cloak...
"You came from Linhai, agreeing to come to Anyang with me."
"You helped me clear Medicine King Valley."
"You stayed with me."
"You did all this just to resurrect Qin Churan..."
Thinking of this, Li Wan-ning watched Lu Ming's distant figure, tears streaming down her face...
